Sleep tight



As you can see, Owen is completely unphased that we are still at the hospital. He is currently sound asleep....with open eyes as usual.

His fever seems to be gone. His temp still goes up and down but has been pretty stable today. They are pleased with that.

Their current concern, as I said earlier, is his lack of weight gain. He lost 6 grams overnight. Yesterday he didn't have much interest in eating. Today he seems to be much more eager to eat even if he continues to spit up. That does not seem to concern anyone. They said as long as he gains weight, the spit up is not a problem. Late this afternoon will mark 24 hrs since he's been getting the extra calories. So, hopefully they see an improvement by tomorrow. What is not clear is that if he gains weight overnight if he gets to go home tomorrow or if they watch him for a couple days. Either way, we are keeping our fingers crossed that this does the trick.
